O'REILLY'S RETORT.
Response of DR.. McGlynn's Friend to the Crit
icisms of President John Fitzgerald.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 13-Dr Thos OReilly, of
this city, State delegate Of the Irish National
League OF America, publishes his reply to let
ter lately received from John Fitzgerald, presi
dent Of the Irish National League, in which the
latter sharply calls him to account for secondng
certain resolutions which were offered OF q meet
ing Of the branch of the League held here few
days ago. After stating that he does not think
Mr. Fitzgerald had seen correct copy Of the
resolutions referred to. when he wrote his let.
ter, and quoting the resolutions for mis- informa-
ton, the Doctor says:
There is nothing in the resolutions condemn
ing the action of the Roman Church, as church.
In its treatment of the Rev. DIR. McGlynn, but
there is strong protest against the conduct of
certain Italian priests who have made them
selves conspicuous in thwatting the Irish people
in their efforts toward social and political ad
vancement For advocating this policy the gen.
eral opinion is that DR.. McGlynn has been sac
rificed but. if a doubt existed on this point. the
letter of Cardinal Simeoni, of Sept II, 1882
dispelied it. In this letter he orders 'tnat the
priest, Edward McGlynn. be suspended for his
violent speeches in defense of the Irish Land
League There is nothing further in the reso
lutiops than an expression of heartfelt sympathy
with DR.. McGlynn, who ia looked upon as under
going the most extreme punishment, rarely in
flicted on a just priest like him, and whose only
OffenSe was that ne loved MS native country SIN
cerely and loved humanity more. Even this.
Cardinal Simeon in the letter referred to above,
considered excessive punishment. and left it dis
cretionary with the late Cardinal McCloskey to
execute. This prelate. most likely, regarded it
in the same way. for during his lifetime he did
not interfere with Rev. DIR. McGlynn. but his
successor felt that it his duty to carry it
into effect. 1t is not always indication of
good judgment or humanity. even though we
have the power of giant, that should use it
rs a giant; but Archbishop Corrigan. IN dealing
with Dr. McGlynn, was not guided by the
humane, moral principle In the resolutions there
is nothing sectarian, nothing to interfere with
| American parties. and in way does it violate
the constitution of the Irish National League of
| America Whilst seconding the resolutions, |
| simply exercised the privileges of q member of
the League strictly acting within its laws and
was actuated by the business OF its purpose
at was this same Cardinal Simeoni, acting
under the advics Of Mr.. Errngton. the English
minister mt tho Vatican, who attempted to stop
| the collections for the Parnell fund. Such being
the case, ], as an individual Irish Roman Cstho
/ lic will not regret how soon they learn at Rome
that some Irishmen protest against this inter

That Mupwump Bill.

To tho Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
The letter of Mr.. Lucius B. Swift on the
'Civil-service Bill" in yesterdays Journal, is
fortunate. From past action on that bill the
Republicans of the State were coming reluct-
anty to the disaereeabe conclusion that some
Republican had originated it, But now the
secret ID out. It's mugwump parentage is
avowed When the bill began to writhe under
the lash of criticism its real father could
longer be quiet, and Mr.. Swift rushes to the de-
Tense of his mugwump offspring This relieves
the Republican party of the State of the re-
sponsibiitv of fathering and championlng it.

erous enemies
Not to enter into an examination of the falla-
cies of civil-serviee reform called. desire to
ask the Republicans of our General Assembly
few questions:
How can we condemn mugwumpe, when by
voting for this bill we adopt the central principle
of mugwumpery-the chief thing for which the
Curtis Schurz-Swift school contend2
Can the Republican party afford, by adopting
this bin, to become the followers of such men as
Swift. who did all they could to defea. our party
two years ago? Shall we allow these men to make
the issue for us now2
Is it wise to pledge the party to system which
win estop it from putting Republicans in charge
of the government, If victorious in 1888!
The non partisan control of the benevolent in
situations is provided for by the wise measures
of Mr. Crosses bill that issue is fully met by that
bill; and the necessity, or rather excuse, for the
mugwump bill on that score Is thus done away
with. But the mugwump bill goes further, en-
bracng the widest measures demanded by the
Curtis crowd. 1t extends to all appointive officers

To adopt it is to pledge the party to the de-
mands of these men. thus making them our
leaders-our makers of issues To adopt it is to
acknowledge that such reform in needed-that
the charges of the muewumps are true-and
therefore that the Republican management of
the government for the last twenty-five years
was corrupt and Inefficient To adopt it is to
carry dismay and disgust 10 the masses of our
party. whose desires it misrepresents. cheering
alone the heart of our ardent but somewhat tire

and his fellows and brothers in mugwumpery.

That Big Loan.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
If were member of this Legislature, and
am glad am not would not vote for loan of
one dollar until the Senate at least had passed
S:ll that shall levy tax adequate to meet the
necessities Of the case. The present debt is only
the legitimate outgrowth of Democratic ncom
petence or recklessness. In 1870 the State,
under Republican management, had not only
paid off the large debt inherited from the long
misrule of the Democratic party in a time of
peace, but had met the immense war expenses,
and the State was comparatively out of
debt. The first thing the Democratic party
Legislature of 1871 did was to increase the APP
preparations and then to reduce the levy to
cents. If they had sense enough to know any
thing they knew that that levy would not half
meet the current expenses of the year, and il did
not. Then laid the foundation of the debt
that has been increasing ever since, until it is
measured now by the hundreds of thousands,
the Republicans not having the control of legs-
lation for fourteen years. The Republicans of
the Legislature of 1885 insisted on levy that
should meet current expenses, but the Democrats,
under their leader. Mr.. Gooding, of Hancock re-
fused, lest it should be used against the
party at the ensuing election; and now
come these Democrats and ask US to borrow
money to meet the ever-recurring deficiency.
Not one dollar would vote them until they hon
estly made provision to meet the debt by adequate
taxation. But. they say the wheels would stop.
Let them stop. then. Who does not see that
they will go into the next canvass charging this
Republican Legislature with increasing the pub
lie debit Every unpopular measure in all these
years, even the dog law has been sadded on to
the Republican party though that party has not
been able to pass even a cat law as a party
measure since 1873 No, let the Democrats
make the levy what it ought to be, then let US
help them out of the fix their incompetence has
brought upon them. and pray that there may
never be another Democratic Legislature while
the world lasts. u L. SEE

A Defense of Gas wells for Everzbodx.

A Defense of Gas Wells for Every body.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Twice the editorial columns Of the Daily Jour
nal have contained articles discouraging the en-
terprise of developing natural gas from the
bowels of the earth, each time directing the
marks to small towns The Journal must surely
be viewing the matter from a metropolitan
standpoint. Citizens of rural hamlets and
towns most Of them at least, regret that their
lines were cast in such lowly places; but because
they are not so highly favored as their envously-
situated metropolitan fellow-citizens is no just
reason why they should not be privileged to en-
joy the blessings nature may afford them, pro-
vided they are sufficiently and abundantly sup
piled with the necessary collateral to prosecute
the work. Why, the excitemNnt and boom pro-
duced by evcn talking up gas well is to a citi-
of a rural village worth all the stock he sub
scribes. Men naturally love excitement and
those who are not happily located as to be
privileged to see, occasionally, such natural
human curiosities as have been graphically por-
trayed in the columns of the Journal this winter
in the persons of Green Smith, DIRTY Dave
and Honest" Robinson must have something to
interest them. We cannot have our 'Sim Coys,

Discrimination in Words.

Pretty refers to external beauty on a
small scale. Grace of manner is a
natural gift; elegance implies cultiva-
ton. Well bred is referable to general
conduct rather than individual actions.
Beautiful is the strongest word of its
class, implying softness and delicacy in
addition to every thing that is in
similar words. Courtesy has reference
to others, politeness to ourselves. The
former is duty or privilege to others,
the, latter is behavior assumed from
proper self-respect. Benevolent refers
to the character of the agent acting,
beneficent to the act performed.
Charitable is restricted to almsgiving
except when used in reference to iudg-
maNt of others. Lovely is used only
shere there is something more than ex-
ternal beauty, when there is combina-
ton of personal beauty and pleasing
manner. Faultless features do not
make lady louely who is disagreeable
in disposition. journal of Education.

Gases as Liquids and Solids.

Olszewski, the Russian physicist. has
been continuing his researches on the
condensation of the gases, with some
very interesting results. He has shown
that even the more permanent gases
may be liquefied at only moderate pres
sure by the low temperatures he has
been able to produce, and has also
determinefthe boiling points, melting
points and densities of these so-called
gases at atmospheric pressure. Lique-
fed methane boiled at --263 degrees F.
below zero, oxygen at -294.5 degrees,
nitrogen at -318 degrees, carbon mo-
noxide at $40 degrees, and nitric oxide
at -244.5 degrees. Solidified carbon
monoxide melted at --353 degrees. At
thetemperatures and pressures required
to retain the liquid form, the density Of
methane was 0.415, of oxygen 1.124,

How Many Of Them Aid In Undermining
the social Fabric.
OF course every accused man is en-
titled TO fair trial, but it is undoubtedly
the case that many well-meaning men,
to say nothing Of some of different
sort, go much further than they have
any shadow of q moral right to do in
helping by various legal devices to
shield from punishment men who are
known to them to have committed
heinous crimes. IT all lawyers had the
conscientiousness of Abraham Lincoln
in his law practice, they would take q
different course. Rev. Madison G.
Peters of Philadelphia, gives in one of
his sermons his own views on the sub
ject as follows: % -
Criminallawyers are in large meas
ure to blame for the large number of
crimes and criminals. When man
has committed crime, he weighs his
chances to escape punishment by the
amount of money he is able to pay a
lawyer for his defense. So much money
will secure such a lawyer, whose very
name carries power with it to so influ-
ence jury as to secure acquittal. or q
disagreement, which is about equal to
an acquittal. Now would not deny the
worst criminal the right to defense;
but when a crime has been commit
ted that shocks the moral sense of even
irreligious people, and when there is no
doubt as to the mans guilt. then. when
in answer to a call for money a lawyer
lends his name, his influence, his elo-
quence, his wit and his wisdom in de-
tense of that criminal, and when, by in-
genuities, by unwarranted exceptions,
by packing" the jury, so as to be able
to tell beforehand what the verdict will
be, and by perversion of law, secures
the acquittal Of the criminal, or has
awarded him q ridiculously inadequate
sentence, then say such lawyer-no
matter what his social standing, what his
qualifcations-sucn lawyer becomes
the accomplice of criminals. He helps
to undermine our social fabric, and dis
graces an honorable profession.-Co Con-
qregationclist.
